T0 all whom-it may concern:

Beit known that L-AUoUs'rn ir.- ia, a citizen of theUnited States, and a a new and of New Jersey, have'liiiventedl Mechauseiul Improvement in Controller,

nism for. Automatic Typographic fi'ppa#` lratus, of which the following is .a specitlcation. v l

The invention relates totypographie machines and moreparticularly to machines which opeiate by a controller and employ fluid pressure means to lselect characters to be printed.

-In certain of its .aspects the invention re-' lates to typographie machines having a ro-..

tatable type carrier although in certain oi' its aspects it'relates also to other kinds of typographie machines. v

The embodiment of the invention illustinted-herewith by way of example is shown incorporated with vthe other parts of a typo graphic machine such as is illustrated and described in the application for patent Ser. No..207,668'of Charles T. Moore, filed May 12, 1904. Certain parts shown in the drawings of this present application are substan tially thosaine asfthosesh'own in the drawings of said applicationbf Charles T. Moore, and themaking and using .of the present invention with such a machine will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art. from the showing herewith.

Cbjects of thev present invention are to' provide a'typ-ogr'aphic Imachine having the printing mechanism,- or parts quickly and reliably controlled by fluid pressure means 4working under the l'control' to provide such means inoi a controller; connection with arotatable type carrier; 'to provide for a valve system which is posi-.

tively' controlled from the devices co-acting with. the controller and according to certain features of the invention to provide valves `which are moved positively with'the' partsthat cooperate. with .the controller.

' Cther objects of the invention will in part be obvious and will lin part 'more fully appear hereinafter.'

Pig. 4 is a bottom plan view of the apparatus: Fig. 5 is a detail with parts removed. showing escapement mechanism in released position. Fig. 6 is a perspective showing .f trie ducts connecting with mechanism controlling position of type carrier. Fig. 6a is a detail sectional vie.' on line 13,13, (Fig. G).

Invthe several views corresponding parts are indicated by the same reference numerals. Y

buit-able means for supporting and feeding a controller, together with connections. to the other parts ofthe typographie ma-` chine are provided, and in the particular form. thereofv ,comprisedl .in the illustrated embodiment, the main basev plate'. of theautomatic typographie. apparatus is indicated by the numeral 1. In the brackets 'A2, secured upon the underside .of'the baseplate are journaledV a cam shaft 3, and .thev

controller feed-.roll shaft 4.. ySecured fast upon the feedroll shaft `4-'is the escapement wheel 5. The 'escapement-lever 6 for-'controlling the escapement of the feed-roll and thereby thefeed of the controller, is pivote-d upon a laterally projecting stud l on bracket In'- thetail of theescapement lever is mounted a springpin l8, 'which normally bears'` against a stopt) secured upon the bracket 2. y escapementlever. keeps the said pinS pressed against stop 9.

A spring 10 acting upon the f '90 A bell-crank lever 11 is I pivota-lly mounted at 12 upon the'bracket 2 andv has its horizontal arni 11a provided with a pivotally mounted plunger 123 in position to engage. .the 'stop 9. ik spring l-l keeps said plunger pressed against said stop.

The vertical larm 1 1b 'of the bell-crank 11 is provided with anar-mature 15 controlled by an electro-magnet 16, and a spring 1T acts upon the bell-crank 11 to keep the armature 15 away -from the magnet 1G, thereby keeping thev plunger 13 in raised position. A friction gear .18 is mounted uponthe feed-roll shaft 4, said frictioni gear `being of'such constructionand having 'such connection with the' shaft 4 that theY gear 4 runs idle except when the escapement mech anisni permits an. escapenient of the feedroll shaft.v Cam shaft 43 is provided lwith.

a, friction gear`19 meshing 'with an intermediatezgear 20 which in turn meshes with gear 1 8 of the 'feed roll-shaft.. 'Cam shaft 3l is also provided with a friction gear 25 yfastlto gear 1,9 by which said cam-'shaft 3 and feed lroll shaft 4 are operatively connected through a train of gears (notjshovvn), to vthe main driving shaft of the typographic appara-tus;V The cam shaft 3 is provided with a one-.tooth escapement wheel 21` with which engages. an esc'apement `lever .22 pivto bc unnecessary, reference being had toy the said application for Letters Patent. As further parts'of the embodied form of means for handling and coperating with the' controller there is shown herewith, seq` cured Vupon the shaft 4 the feed-,roll 26.

This' feed-roll is provided at its ends with sprocket teeth or. pins -27 for engagement with the inarginalfe'ed perforations on the controller. Two presserrolls 28,228. (Fig. 4) are journaled in the brackets 2,'2 and are each'provided with peripheral grooves 29, at their ends adjacent the sprocketfteeth 27, `which permit said rolls 28 to be brought in close peripheral relation With'the feedroll.. 'I he controller C (Fig-6) is fed over the feed-roll between the same and the presser roll 28, the sprocketpins 27 'entering the marginal perforations ofthe con-l troller. The .feed-roll 26 lis provided with a series of longitudinally arranged perforations 30, spaced apart one from the other a .distance corresponding to the transverse lines on the controller upon which the charactenand other representations are made.-

F or convenience the sprocket pins .2T-are arranged to aline with the series of perforations 30 and also the transverse lines on the controller upon which the character` and other perforations are arranged. A Suitably journaled in bracketv 31 secured upon. the underside of base-plate l'is rokshaft 32 extending 'parallel with the feedroll. Loosely mounted upon said' rockshaft vtroller upon -the feed-roll.

32 isa series of drop-levers 33, which corre spend' in number to the number 'ofperforations in a single series of pelf'orations 30 inthe feed-roll. At an intermediate point On each of said drop-levers is arranged a stud or point 34, thesevstuds being in posi-i tion tol register" with the' series .of perfora- 'tions 30 in the feed-roll when they come'V into their-uppermostpositiony (see Fig. 3).

Secured to the rock-shaft 32 near each of `its ends are arms 35, 35, which carry in their extremities 'a bail-rod 36. This bail-rod passes below all' of the droplevers33- To 'the rock-shaft 32is secured van arm 37 lcarryingy at its free extremity, a cam-roller 38' in position-to be'engaged by acain 39 upon-the auxiliary cam-shaft 3, said cani being iprovided with al depression to permit said a my 37 to drop and allow the points or studs .34to rest upon the controller tape or ribbon on 4the feed-roll or drop through a perforation in controller as the case may-be. Spring 37aacting on arm 3T tends to keep roll 38 in peripheral' contact'vvith cani Springs 40 are provided one for each of the drop-levers 33, which press said levers into contact Withthe controller tape or ribbon on the feed-roll.

i According to rcertain fe'aturesof the rinvention, as hereinbefore indicated, it is con# teniplated -to provide for positively actuating the valves according tov the indications of the .cont-roller, and,l more "specifically, to provide foi" positively moving the valves .which control the fluid under pressure. Accordingly4 a form of such means is' included in the present embodiment. The Aembodied form of such means comprises certain of the parts-already described as Will 'be apparent,

and comprises also a series of valves, `one valve being provided for each lever 33. The forward endof each of the' levers 33 as shown herein engages valve stein 4l by means of a slot 42 formed in said stems, said valves being mounted in the valve block. 43,

supported by the brackets 2.` The move- |nient of the levers 33 and the valves 4l are limited in an upward direction by the rise of cam 39 and in a downward direction by the valve block itself, and b v the lever studs coming into contact With ,the con- The valves 4l control fluid pressure ducts 45, vvhieh lead to the respective operating parts of the typographie apparatus such as the positioning stops 50 for the type carrier-5l, carrier shifting mechanism, line loperating meehar nisin', etc.` The fluid pressure supply ducts for said passages are connected with connec- -tions 46," 46 ina "block47 having a passage 48 Which communicates with a passage 49 r nni'x'ig longitudinally of the valves 41. VJlalves 41 are so constructed that in their .upper p'osition'they close and in their lower lial A`position theyopen said communication and sure to cause undue friction betvveen the valve lstem and its bearing-or guides,. re quiring that springs be 4of `considerable strength to overcome this friction. This is a disadvantage for the reason that the einployment of strong springs 40 may in'some instances drive the studs or points- 44 through thecontrollerC where no perforation is present, thereby giving a false position to the 'type-carriers 51. Iii-order to avoid. this I may provide valves 41 of a shape illustrated in Figs. 3 and 3b, having reduced or recessed portions 53 ofsu'ch a 4length that when the valve is in closed position (as in Fig. 3a) the ainduct 49 opens against this reduced or recessed portion. rI`he air-pressure at this point is thus equalized and 'there is no tendency` to cause friction between the valve and its guides, thus springs 40 of suflicient strength only to insure the depression of drop-levers 33 on to the controller C and through the perforatiens therein are required.

Vv'here valves 41 ofthe forni shoivn in Figs. 1.,'2 and 3 are employed I providea controlling valve 54 (see Fig. This valve 54 controls the supply of air or pressure-fluid from the reservoir toconnection 4G and air-duct or passage 49 the air coming from the reservoir to the lconnection 55, thence to connection 5G. thence to connection 4G, as indicated b v tliedotted line Fig. (3. Valve 54 Works in a suitable valve block 5T supported from the. underside of base plate 1. and is operated bv a bell-crank lever; one arin 58 of vvhich is pivotally con-4 nected vwith valve 54. the other arm 5S carrying a cani-roller ivhich arranged to bear upon a cani mounted on shaft 3 h v means of a spring G1. Cani GO is so formed as to cause the valve 54 to open after the drop levers have been allowed to drop b v the bail-rod 3G. so that no ain pressure passes to connection 46 andan?- duct 43 until the valves 41 have been moved;- thus there is no air-pressure to cause undue friction of valves 41. Cam (SO is also formed to cloee valve'54 before the valves'4l are raised. hence the pressure is removed or shut eti from the valves 41 before the latter are raised.

The operation of the above described mechanism is as folloivs z-lVhen the electrotroller.

magnet 16 is energized by the type carrier in the typographie apparatus coming to its normal or non-printing position, 'he feedroll is permitted to escape one tooth thereby bringing a transverse line of impressions upon the controller into position beneath the studs or points 34 of the drop levers. l.lhen this occurs cam 39 isfbrought to a position to permit arm 37 to lovver bail-rod 36, thereby permitting the drop levers to rest on. their studs or points 34 nponJthe conlVhere perforations occur in this transverse line thus brought into Aoperative position, the studs' or points 34 on the drop levers drop through the perforations occurring in said line and through .spring 40. these drop-levers are positively depressed operating corresponding valves 4l and opening passages 45 corresponding thereto, to the pressure fluid. The valves 41 Vare thus 'selectively operated by the perforations in tliecontroller- A further operation of the cani shaft 3 causes cam to raise arm 31:' and bail-rod 36, thereby raising all of the droplevers and their studs or points 34 olf the lcontroller tape. 'Ihevlatter partof revolution of said cani shaft releases the typecarrier froin its normal or -non-pi'ii'itiiig position and causes said carrier-to be positioned" against stops set b v the aforeiiieirvtioned valves. lllhen the type carrier has completed its cycle of movement and again reaches its normal or non-printing position the electro-magnet is again energized vcausing escapementof the feed roll and. cani shaft. the feed-mechanism acting to'feed a new line of perforations into position and the cain-shaft permitting the .n

"a'l-rod ZG to drop the points oi studs on the drop-'le---l rs upon the controller or through perforations.

Bv the above describedmechanism, it .vill be 'seen that instead of thecontroller itself acting as a valve the perforarions therein are caused to control valves. Thus the above mentioned defectsl and disadvantages are eliminated and positive action of the selected mechanisms in thev typographie apparatus isinsured. f
